After the recent post on the questionable Koss UR-30 headphones, I finally had to take my set out in the front yard & give them a try... I usually use my Jolly Roger Ultimates that I had previously bought for use with a MXT that came with a bad set...Anyway I plugged them in & was pleasantly surprised that the response appeals more to my likeing than the Jolly Rogers...HMMM...They actually sound "different" & I mean more of a lower tone type for threshold & Iron more of a deep Bass....Two clad Quarters & a 52 wheatie within the next few minutes & I think I actually may prefer them but still am not "REALLY" sure...I'll need to switch them out the next time I'm hunting & get a deep iffy signal just to be sure...Now before everybody starts howling at me, let me say that I haven't tried the other brands so can't comment but I really would like to hear some other "Honest" comparisons...Actually I think I may just head down to the local detector shop & give the different ones a try...To tell the truth, I couldn't believe there would be such a difference...I guess it may all boil down to preference??? Or will different phones REALLY give a person BETTER DEPTH???? Maybe minelab knows something we don't???

Greetings tomtowns, When I purchased my EX-II over a year ago, they came equipped with the Koss Headphones. At our annual silver hunt (last month), I won a set of Sunray pro Headphones. They seem to me, not as loud with signals as the Koss. maybe the difference is impedance. Hope this helps tomtowns
Happy Hunting Grounds,

I'm pretty sure that Minelab uses them for a reason....I think they are 50 ohm??? I'm not an electronics guru either but on another forum for nuggetshooting, the site administrator replied to a similar post about headphones by saying that it was "HIS" opinion that minelab detectors were designed primarily for use with 50 ohm phones...I know a lot of folks are swearing by their Rat Or Grey Ghosts but what I'm REALLY wondering is IF there is any advantage to useing one VS. the other or if maybe like a lot of other things it's only a PREFERENCE???
